What the notice says

This contract will investigate how nature recovery can be effectively integrated into Spatial Development Strategies (SDS) in line with Land Use Framework principles and carried through into subsequent planning, investment and delivery. The project will develop and test a practical, evidence-based resource that helps those preparing and applying the SDS recognise and integrate nature recovery from the outset, including its contribution to wider strategic priorities.
